rinstall using rpower boot on p9 #4150

[root@mgt03 ~]# rinstall f7n01 osimage=rhels7.4-ss7.DF Provision node(s): f7n01 Command rpower boot is not supported now. Please run 'rpower off' and then 'rpower on' instead. Error: Failed to run 'rpower' against the following nodes: f7n01

@markprez Currently this function does not work because we cannot successfully ensure that a rpower reset will actually take against the OpenBMC firmware. The power reset they support is a "warm reset", and not a "cold reset" and in our testing, doing an off/on too close together via xCAT does not ensure the power is recycled on the server because the firmware does not queue up rest calls....

@xuweibj is working on supporting a cold off, then checking the BMC, then on for xCAT's rpower reset call, and once that works and we can ensure the power will be cycled, we will re-enable rinstall which relys on this function

Let's close this since the rpower reset/boot have been supported in 2.13.8 release package.
